Ahh would be curious to know what it hit about then. I would assume likely shaders and or baked meshes
Not dangerous as in your computer is going to explode, dangerous as in you can kill the entire thread. Any processes using that thread then dies with it while it restarts. Now do that to core0 by accident, hi blue screen of death how are you today.
You mean you starve a thread? Then you have a bug in you threading code 
Blue screen of death only happens if you have faulty hardware or faulty driver. (on NT Kernel system)
Yeah I didnt have the Unity progress bar up so cant help you there sorry
This is some very precious data you have posted there, thank you.
I think the most reasonable option for me is to go for the 7700k as itās the best cpu compatible with my mobo. I was thinking about waiting to buy a new rig but seems like itās not worth it.
Thats only build times. There areaothrr aspecta too, like bake light that time is basicly cut in half with 8 cores
So in essence, besides light baking, neither going up on CPU cores nor on SSD speed will get you the speed boost youād expect from builds and compiles, am I correct?=
Just go with teh 3950x, you get great singel core perf and 16 cores. Cant go wrong. Plus its future safer if Unity deciced to offload their build steps to more cores

I havenāt read through the thread lately but a fair amount of information here is no longer valid. AMDās third generation Zen-based processors have massive caches compared to the previous generations of Ryzen and Threadripper. Thanks to this compile jobs with them see massive performance improvements. Check the video below for more in-depth info.
The Ryzen 3900X and 3950X have 64MB L3 cache. The Threadripper 3960X and 3970X have 128MB L3 cache.

Its pretty insane that the L3 cache on a modern CPU is far larger than an entire harddisk bak in the late 80s early 90s

I donāt think more cores would help, since actual multi-core load is only a tiny part and is short.
Not sure what is the bottleneck, because neither of the systems on 9900K machine ever get locked up above 50%.
Have you picked up your 3950x yet? Iām curious how well it really does.
Think he got banned, if you click his profile pic it says this user is unavailable.
Iāll be getting the 3900x next year. Iāll report if it improves performance.

Doh!
I just ordered the parts for a new computer, looks like this:
- Sliger SM580 case with perforated side panels for breathing
- Gigabyte X570 I AORUS Pro WiFi MoBo
- AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (later I can replace it with a 3950X when the supply stabilizes and it will drop back the price to bearable levels)
- Corsair SF750 SFX power brick (750Watt, platinum, full modular)
- G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600, 2x16GB (the ITX MoBo only has two slots)
- NZXT Kraken X62 CPU cooler (AIO, 280mm, top exhaust)
- 2xNoctua NF-A14 PWM case fans (bottom intake)
- Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD - 1TB (system)
- Intel 660p SSD - 2TB (data)
- EVGA Geforce RTX 2080 TI Ftw3 Ultra
Will see how it turns out.
Everything looks great to me.
By the time this happens we might very well have the next generation of chips. Currently the only way to obtain one for a reasonable price is to buy a prebuilt from a company like iBUYPOWER which only charges slightly above the MSRP.

Thatās pretty much the same as my rig (thanks Ryiah very happy now) except I have an intel i9 chip because I was kinda wondering if I could virtualise macOS to work on ios app dev, and I read somewhere that virtualisation was easier on intel chips.
Still havenāt tried it though.
P.S the 2080Ti is <3

Iām torn between this set up, waiting for 4900x and upgrading to Threadripper. Have you had the chance to test your setup yet?
